She has a popular science blog – Biosocial - where she comments on news, scientific findings and literature relevant to her subject – more often than not with an evolutionary informed approach to understanding the subject matter. She has held numerous lectures on the benefits of an evolutionary informed approach to understanding the cross-cultural sex and age differences in anti-social and criminal behavior.  In this episode, we talk about political violence from an evolutionary perspective. We discuss several theories that explain why someone would commit political violence. We talk about the role of political ideology, mental health factors, notoriety and copycat effects through the media. We also talk about female terrorists. Finally, we discuss how people react to political violence.--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, HEDIN BRØNNER, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

Most importantly, Dr. Smith shares practical, science-based strategies for controlling wild pig populations and mitigating their impact.

He is currently a Visiting Professor in the Graduate Program in International Affairs of the New School University, New York City. He is also the co-founder of Democracy at Work and host of their nationally syndicated show Economic Update. Over the last 25 years, in collaboration with his colleague, Stephen Resnick, he has developed a new approach to political economy. While it retains and systematically elaborates the Marxist notion of class as surplus labor, it rejects the economic determinism typical of most schools of economics and usually associated with Marxism as well. In this episode, we talk about economic inequality from a Marxist perspective: how to understand it, and what drives it. We discuss whether economic inequality is natural, why we should tax the rich, and whether the rich leave the country if they get taxed. Finally, we discuss whether anyone can become rich without exploiting the labor of others, and whether billionaires should exist.--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, HEDIN BRØNNER, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

His research interests lie in the field of international political economy. More specifically, his research trespasses several fields and aims to be as interdisciplinary as possible, drawing from political science, economics, sociology, complexity theory, and evolutionary theory. His work falls into several related areas: the politics of ideas, how institutions change, political parties, and the politics of finance. His latest book is Inflation: A Guide for Users and Losers. In this episode, we focus on Inflation. We discuss what inflation is, how to fight it, alternatives to raising interest rates, and what causes inflation. We talk about hyperinflation, and where there is a risk of the current inflation turning into hyperinflation. We discuss why we did not see this inflation coming, who the winners and losers of inflation are, and the effects of tariffs and trade wars on inflation.

On this After Dark episode of the Iron Sights Podcast, I'm joined once again by my good friend, Mark Smith of JBS Training Group. This is the third time we've sat down together, and each conversation seems to hit a little different. We dig into the importance of mindset—for both students and instructors—and how shifting it can drastically improve performance. Mark also breaks down strategies for aligning training with results, as well as when equipment really matters for shooting performance and how to know if it's worth the investment.Beyond the technical talk, we also dive into the value of having honest, meaningful conversations—with your peers, your students, and even yourself. Mark has a gift for delivering insight that's both practical and thought-provoking, and that's why these episodes always get so much positive feedback.Timestamps:00:00 Intro04:28 Exploring SF & Teaching Courses07:58 Independent Thinking In Training10:54 Challenges In Law Enforcement17:40 Competition's Role In Training38:44 Misconceptions In Strength Training41:23 The Importance Of Self-Awareness45:09 Value Of Equipment In Shooting01:01:47 Cultural Challenges In Law Enforcement01:12:22 Intentional Fatherhood & Leadership01:14:49 Honest Conversations & Compassion01:20:16 Emotions In Learning01:27:41 Social Media & Communication01:34:16 Honest Feedback In TrainingRed Dot Fitness Training Programs:rdfprograms.comOnline Membership (Full Access To All Programs & Virtual Coaching):https://www.reddotfitness.net/online-membershipVirtual Coaching:https://www.reddotfitness.net/virtual-coachingSelf-Guided Programs:https://www.reddotfitness.net/Self-Guided-Programs1Connect With Us:Website - https://ironsightspodcast.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ironsightspodcast/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/

His work is in philosophy of mind and psychiatry, ethics, moral psychology, and cross-cultural philosophy. He is the author of several books, including What Is It Like to Be an Addict?: Understanding Substance Abuse. In this episode, we focus on What Is It Like to Be an Addict? We first discuss what addiction is, and the concepts of disease, disorder, and dysfunction. We talk about social stigma and whether it works in fighting against addiction. We discuss whether addicts can stop being addicts. We talk about subjective realism, and why a subjective account of addiction is important. We also talk about willing, unwilling, and resigned addicts, and whether addicts are responsible for their own behavior. Finally, we talk about treatments for addiction.--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, PAUL-GEORGE ARNAUD, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, AMAURI MARTÍNEZ, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

The “Autopen Pardon Scandal” House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer announced that the committee is wrapping up its investigation into President Joe Biden’s alleged use of the autopen to issue thousands of pardons. Records suggest Biden’s aides, including Chief of Staff Jeff Zients, authorized pardons using the autopen without Biden’s direct involvement. Critics, including Donald Trump and constitutional attorney Mark Smith (on Fox News), argue this raises questions about presidential authority, legitimacy of pardons, and executive power under Article II. Defenders claim the use of autopen is legal and Republicans are politicizing the issue. US Military Build-up in Puerto Rico Amid Venezuela Tensions Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Joint Chiefs Chairman Dan Kane made an unannounced visit to Puerto Rico. The visit coincided with rising US-Venezuela tensions following a US military strike on a Venezuelan cartel vessel. The Pentagon is considering Puerto Rico as a hub for counter-narcotics operations, deploying F-35 jets, Marines, and multiple warships to the Caribbean. Officials emphasize the move is not for regime change but to combat narco-terrorism and drug trafficking networks. Puerto Rico’s strategic location is highlighted as key for intercepting drug routes.

With 97% of farm income concentrated in just 3% of farms, the remaining 97% struggle to make ends meet, often forcing the next generation to leave farming altogether. Mark Smith, CEO and Co-Founder of Carbon Country, is working to reverse this trend with a groundbreaking vision that combines renewable energy, sustainable farming practices, and economic innovation.Mark's approach centers on agrivoltaics, a system of integrating solar panels with farming. “The idea behind Carbon Country is to transform the economics and sustainability of smallholder farms by adding agrovoltaics, which is a fancy word for solar above farming,” Mark explained. By installing solar panels over grazing land and using regenerative practices like rotational sheep grazing, Carbon Country creates a dual-purpose solution that enhances both energy production and soil health.The potential doesn't stop there. Mark is pioneering carbon removal practices, including biochar production and “wood vaulting,” a process developed by a University of Maryland professor. “We're building the first large-scale biochar facility in Maryland,” Mark said. These initiatives not only sequester carbon but also improve soil quality, making farms more productive and sustainable.To further amplify the economic viability, Mark has integrated energy storage and Bitcoin mining into the model. “We're putting battery storage and Bitcoin mining together, creating an ecosystem with our panels,” he said. By arbitraging peak and non-peak power prices, Carbon Country maximizes revenue while helping stabilize the energy grid.Currently, Carbon Country is raising capital through a regulation crowdfunding campaign on Vicinity Capital. This innovative platform connects investors with high-impact projects, providing opportunities to support sustainable solutions like Mark's.Mark's work is more than a business—it's a mission to ensure smallholder farms remain productive for future generations. “Our goal is to make these farms legacy assets,” he said, “doing important things for both the economy and the environment.”If you want to learn more or invest in this inspiring initiative, visit Carbon Country's crowdfunding page and join the movement to reshape agriculture and energy for a better future.tl;dr:Mark Smith shares how agrivoltaics can transform smallholder farms by combining solar panels with farming.Carbon Country integrates biochar production and carbon storage to improve soil health and sequester carbon.Renewable energy, Bitcoin mining, and storage create economic opportunities for struggling smallholder farmers.Mark explains his superpower of rapid learning and offers advice for mastering new fields.This episode highlights Carbon Country's crowdfunding campaign to support sustainable farming and energy solutions.How to Develop Rapid Learning As a SuperpowerMark Smith's superpower is his ability to quickly master new fields of knowledge. “I think my superpower really is being able to get to near expert level on practically anything very quickly,” he said. This remarkable skill has allowed him to tackle challenges in diverse areas such as recycling, water filtration, and now agrivoltaics. Mark credits his success to curiosity, humility, and a willingness to dedicate time to learning and experimentation.Illustrative Story:Mark shared an example of how his rapid learning ability transformed an idea into reality. Initially exploring abandoned mining sites for solar projects, he discovered that ranches were a better fit. By asking questions about land use and grazing practices, he realized he could integrate rotational grazing and biochar production with solar installations. Through research and conversations with experts, he developed a model that improves soil health, sequesters carbon, and generates renewable energy—all while supporting smallholder farmers.Tips for Developing This Superpower:Be Curious: Read extensively and watch content to understand the basics of new fields.Seek Advice: Approach experts with humility and ask thoughtful questions.Experiment: Start small and learn by doing, even if it means making mistakes.Stay Open: Embrace being a beginner and remain receptive to unexpected insights.By following Mark's example and advice, you can make rapid learning a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileMark Smith (he/him):CEO and Co-Founder, Carbon Country, LLCAbout Carbon Country, LLC: We are transforming the economics and sustainability of smallholder farms by adding agrivoltaics and carbon removal.Website: carboncountry.usOther URL: marketplace.vicinityventures.co/offers/106Biographical Information: Mark Smith, is CEO and Co-Founder of Carbon Country.

In this episode I look at a sensory history of the American Civil War. It is a fascinating way to look at the past, but like so many sensory experiences, this one left me wanting more. What do you think of looking at the past through the realm of the senses?

He uses neuropsychology, psychophysics, and neuroimaging to explore the cognitive, neural, developmental, and genetic basis of social perception. Much of his work focuses on prosopagnosia, a condition defined by severe face recognition deficits. In this episode, we first talk about face perception and face perception ability. We then discuss prosopagnosia: what it is, what causes it, its psychosocial impact, the link between loneliness and social perception, how it affects face memory, and whether it can be improved. We then delve into prosopometamorphopsia: what it is, what causes it, stimulus manipulations that improve it, and how it relates to color perception. Finally, we discuss what we can learn more about how face perception and representation work by studying conditions like prosopagnosia and prosopometamorphopsia.--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, PAUL-GEORGE ARNAUD, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, AMAURI MARTÍNEZ, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.
